"The 2m Faulkes Telescope South (Siding Spring, Australia) automatically
reacted to Swift burst GRB 061006 (Schady et al. GCN Circ. 5699).

We find no new sources in the XRT error circle to 
R~18.7 +/-0.3 mag at t~20.45 minutes
or 
i'~18.0+/-0.3 mag at 26.3 minutes after the burst

(Magnitudes are calibrated with respect to the USNO-B1) 

Observations and analysis are on-going."
